One of my birthday gifts from Ajax was $50 in apps for my iPod. I just blew $10 of it on this app so I can keep up my blog without having to sit down at the computer. Fingers crossed it works and I use it. (Lord knows the $10 I tossed out for the Sims wasn't worth it.)
Soooooo... Here on my trusty iPod in my notes I have a list of things I want to blog about. And I'll get to them in time. But for now I'd just like to reflect on the beauty of my life. I am sitting in Ruby's nursery feeling very Under The Sea with her orange seahorse light casting a gentle glow Sarah's gorgeous mural. Ruby is crashed out in my arms and I'm praying for the clock to go slower. We need to leave in 30 minutes for Golden Bridge. I want her to sleep because this week her sleep has been sporadic and disrupted by gas and teething. But mostly I just don't want this cozy moment to end. (although I am losing all feeling in fingers.)
As a few of my friends get close to their own due dates, and others work on creating more of these adorable little creatures we call babies, I'm finding that I'm already missing my newborn. Don't get me wrong-I am completely in love with Ruby as she is now, but that first 6 weeks of mega-cuddle sessions and teeny tiny clothes was yummy. Ok,I might be romanticizing it a bit. It was also challenging.
Now I'm amazed at this big girl who cam hold her head up (except when she's sleepy) and is rolling over (front to back. She's almost got it back to front too). She lights up the world with her big grins and I can see my grandmothers smile in her smile. She's strong, vocal, independent, and sweet. As much as I love her, I also really like her.
And thus endeth the mush of the day. She's awake and we need to get moving.

Ha! So after committing to write three times a week here, I've been gone since November. And I stupidly changed my blog layout and it wiped out all the dates! Argh.
So now I must date each one myself I guess..
TODAY IS WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 3...
or is it the 4th?
No, it's the 3rd.
I'm pretty sure.
I dont' really care... now my weeks are a little like this:
Monday - day of chill. Ruby and I try not to leave the house (well, she tries, but I still think she's too young to go out on her own. Maybe when she's 25).
Tuesday - day of yoga. Go to Golden Bridge. Teach Mommy & Me yoga. Smile at the cute babies, all the while secretly chanting "mine is cuter, mine is cuter; mine is smarter..."
Wednesday - day of lake walk. Some mamas from the Booby Brigadge email list get together and walk around the lake. It's lovely. Exercise, new friends, and Ruby naps!
Thursday - day of whatever. Last week I went to yoga. This week, I'm helping out with the Prenatal Teacher Training... It seems to be a day I go and hang out at Golden Bridge.
Friday - day of yoga and veggies! Teach in the morning (see above), maybe go for a walk and then go pick up our yummy co-op veggies!
Weekends are free-form. I keep thinking I should get us on some sort of routine, but Ruby disagrees. She tried a routine, then discovered that I loved it and promptly gave it up! Such is the life of an almost-4 month old.
Who has gone from chattering happily in her bassinet to getting fiesty. And so I'm off. But I'm looking into figuring out how to do this blog from my iPod or phone... :)
And here's a recent photo of the Duck for those who are dying for it... all three of you who actually read this thing!
